Years of searching for a quick peach cobbler recipe led me to this peach-perfect one.

My mom holds the title of “fruit cobbler queen” in my book. She can make this classic Southern dessert using any fruit, and every batch is sweet and buttery with just a hint of tartness. Her peach cobblers are my favorite, and making them is a real labor of love — she gently poaches the fruit to remove the skin and whips up a biscuit topping by hand. The long preparation time is also why this dish only makes an appearance on holidays and special occasions.

Like mother, like daughter: I also love making peach cobbler. But I’ve been looking for a simpler process that doesn’t involve too many steps. Thankfully, a “lazy” peach cobbler recipe recently came across my radar and changed everything.

Making delicious, homemade peach cobbler can be easy — if you take a few shortcuts. Here are three tips that’ll reduce the amount of time it takes to prepare:

This cobbler recipe from The Peach Truck comes together in about 10 minutes – once the peaches are pitted and sliced. Self-rising flour gives the cobbler topping a light and fluffy texture. You can buy that from the baking aisle or make your own using this simple trick.

Having 10 large peaches on hand, I doubled this recipe when making it. The freshly baked cobbler was a sight to behold and the wait before taking the first bite wasn’t long –  thankfully!

Trying a spoonful of the cobbler, I noticed right away that the peaches were tender without being mushy. The topping had an airy texture that complemented the softness of the cooked fruit. Plus, the sugar mixed with the peaches’ juices created a sweet syrup that kept the cobbler spongy and moist.

This straightforward recipe is going directly in my back pocket. Plus, it’s peach season — so I’ll have extra fruit that I can put to good use!
